Is this the same problem with the inlet hose to compressor or the small outlet hose. Either way you need to check to see exactly how much is crimped off. I have an aftermarket k-member and the inlet (large hoses) are pretty tight. They look pretty tight but as long as the hoses were installed with the builtin bends in the right position and orientation there is plenty of cross sectional area.
If either is restricting you could crank the boost higher and higher and not get much difference. Of course since only the inlet line by the A/C is tight, you would still have one turbo producing good flow.

well heres the deal intel of the turbo is a inch away from the k-member cause they didnt cut it out like i asked to but its to late now. and the turbo intel is about 1inch above the k-member. The a/c I have no problem I redid it there the new k-member and uses less tube now. I went right threw the 2 uprights that connect to the engine

You have an incon, right (you said turbos)? What kind of K-member do you have, is there one available that does not have a clearance problem?
Usually when you get to the max on your turbos they are way out of their efficiency range, too, and become very hard to tune, or when you do, you dont get very big gains. Harlan, you seem pretty well versed on maxing out turbos...![Mr. Cool](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cool.gif)

hmm ok so its not that causeing the problem then. It must be tuning of valvesprings now. It goes in thursday to free up the inlet pipe
. I have a BMR k-member and they just forgot to cutout the one end. Only other thing is my fp drops to 55 at wot but thats soon going to be fixed. Also have to check if my one fuel pumps running but I wouldnt see why it wouldnt be but it is inline so maybe the wires came apart. Thanks for the info guys
